Steps

Warm oil and sweat leeks.
Warm the olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add the leek with a pinch of salt and sweat until soft and silky, about 6 minutes.
Cook garlic, cumin, and wilt spinach.
Stir in the garlic and cumin and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the spinach in handfuls, wilting each before adding the next.
Add herbs and season greens.
Stir in the parsley and dill and cook just until the greens hold together as a loose, glossy base. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook eggs in greens.
Make six shallow wells in the greens. Crack an egg into each well. Cover and cook over low heat until the whites are set but the yolks still tremble, 5 to 7 minutes.
Scatter feta and lemon zest.
Scatter feta and lemon zest over the top. Finish with flaky salt and pepper and serve directly from the pan.
